Eine Bemerkung zur Reduktionstheorie in orthogonalen Gruppen.
Le lecteur trouvera ici une description détaillée des méthodes et algorithmes utilisés pour démontrer qu’il n’y a que 33 classes de formes parfaites en dimension 7, ainsi qu’un tableau récapitulatif des résultats.Il trouvera, en particulier, une généralisation de l’algorithme de Voronoï appliquée en profondeur, récursivement, aux faces des domaines
G.F. Voronoi (1868–1908) wrote two memoirs in which he describes two reduction theories for lattices, well-suited for sphere packing and covering problems. In his first memoir a characterization of locally most economic packings is given, but a corresponding result for coverings has been missing. In this paper we bridge the two classical memoirs.By looking at the covering problem from a different perspective, we discover the missing analogue. Instead of trying to find lattices giving economical...
A lattice is called dual strongly perfect if both, the lattice and its dual, are strongly perfect. We show that there are no dual strongly perfect lattices of dimension 13 and 15.
A theorem of Voronoi asserts that a lattice is extreme if and only if it is perfect and eutactic. Very recently the classification of the perfect forms in dimension has been completed [5]. There are 10916 perfect lattices. Using methods of linear programming, we are able to identify those that are additionally eutactic. In lower dimensions almost all perfect lattices are also eutactic (for example out of the in dimension ). This is no longer the case in dimension : up to similarity, there...
